Yes I've heard that theory before....bits-r-bits etc. However take two DACs that have the same output stage, etc say the audiogd ref7 and the nfb7. One uses the PCM1704 chip and the other uses a Sabre chip. News flash... They sound different! How about that, who would have guessed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106575 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
